More details.The statistics on our aging population are staggering. Because of the enormity of the number of individuals aging, coupled with the prevalence of cognitive decline, it is likely that there will continue to be a dramatic shift in the Elder Law landscape, including an increased number of families at odds over financial resources and decision making, medical decision making, and ultimate control over the family estate and/or legacy. Varying levels of capacity also put an individual at risk for being unduly influence – a common term, unfortunately, among Elder Law attorneys. This one-hour meeting will identify the legal definitions of capacity, diminished capacity and undue influence; as well as the applicable burdens of proof, red flags, and suggestions on how to approach situations involving persons with limited capacity.
